The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.
